Cheyenne Mountain Zoo Encounter Africa

Cheyenne Mountain Zoo
Colorado Springs, CO

With only 10 feet between the visitor and the elephants at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo elephant exhibit pool, Portico designed a uniquely memorable experience based on a safari camp. This viewing area is located next to the elephants’ water hole, which acts as a natural barrier and brings visitors to the same level as the animals. Through this close encounter exhibit of a natural elephant environment, guests gain a truly sensory, adventure experience.
